Couple communication and contraception use in urban Senegal.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Couple communication about family planning has been shown to increase uptake of contraception. However, couple communication is often measured based solely on one partner's report of communication. This research investigates the influence of couple-reported communication about family planning on current and future use of contraception using couple-level data.

Methods

We used baseline data from the Measurement, Learning, and Evaluation (MLE) project collected through household surveys in 2011 from a cross-sectional representative sample of women and men in urban Senegal to conduct secondary data analysis. We used multivariable logit models to estimate the average marginal effects of couple communication about family planning on current contraception use and future
